Four Types of Leaf-nosed Bat Found

Researchers have identified four new species of horseshoe bats. Bats horseshoe bats are the ones that have a big nose shaped like a leaf.
Four species of bats identified berhabitat in eastern Africa. Initially, four are classified in one species named Rhinolophus hildebranditii. However, through research it is known that animals that had been classified in the species is actually divided into four distinct species.
Identify started after the reported difference in the frequency of the ultrasonic waves generated species. Bats produce ultrasonic sound waves to locate prey. The technique is called echolocation of bats. The difference in frequency of the alleged basis of species differences.
According to the study, four species that have been classified as type R. hildebranditii have differences in skull shape, frequency of calls, and DNA. Morphological differences are hard to see that this species is often called species complex.
Four species of bats identified himself this time include Cohen horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus cohenae) found in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, Mount Mabu horseshoe bats (Rhinophus mabuensis) were found on Mount Mabu, Smither horseshoe bat (Rhinophus smithersi) are found in the north valley Mozambique and the Limpopo and Mozambique horseshoe bat (Rhinophus mossambicus) were found in the grass Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
These findings add to the diversity of types of horseshoe bats. Unique horseshoe bats because if other bats emit sonar from the mouth, bats emit sonar this type of nose. Nose width horseshoe bat is useful to help focus the sonar system.
